•
GE Healthcare strongly suggests reducing radiation dose to As Low As Reasonably Achievable
(ALARA) in all patients, whenever it is determined that an x-ray exposure is necessary.
•
It is recommended that all users receive proper training in applications before performing them in a
clinical setting. Please contact the local GE representative for training assistance. ALARA training is
provided by GE Application Specialists. The ALARA education program for the clinical end-user covers
basic x-ray principles, possible biological effects, ALARA principles, and examples of specific
applications of the ALARA principle.
•
Check the digital display carefully before making an exposure: verify that the selected technique is
the intended technique. Pay particular attention to the placement of the decimal point in the mAs
setting to insure that whole numbers are not mistaken for an intended mAs fractional number.
•
Ask visitors to step outside the room during an exposure.
•
Use gonadal shields for patients whenever possible.
•
Be sure to read and follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the Maintenance and Service
section of this manual.
•
Under most conditions, cumulative radiation dose to the operator will not exceed recommended
maximum permissible levels. However, as with all radiation-producing devices, a qualified radiation
expert should evaluate situations involving frequent exposures using high kVp and mAs technics to
determine if extra protective devices are necessary.

WARNING
Power line anomalies or electrostatic discharges to the system may cause a CD
write failure error. A new CD should be used and the image re-written.
Radiation Safety
Always use the proper technical factors for each procedure to minimize X-ray exposure and to produce
the best diagnostic results. In particular, you must be thoroughly familiar with the safety precautions
before operating this system. Default techniques are designed to optimize the image processing parameters.
CAUTION
There should be no people other than the patient in the room during x-ray exposure. If circumstances require another person to enter the room while x-ray exposures are planned or possible, that person should wear a lead apron in accordance
with accepted safety practices.
Radiation Protection
Because exposure to X-ray radiation may be damaging to health, use great care to provide protection
against exposure to the primary beam. Some of the effects of X-ray radiation are cumulative and may
extend over a period of months or years. The best safety rule for X-ray operator is “Avoid exposure to the
primary beam at all times”.
Any object in the path of the primary beam produces secondary (scattered) radiation. The intensity of the
secondary radiation is dependent upon the energy and intensity of the primary beam and the atomic
number for the object material struck by the primary beam. Secondary radiation may be of greater
intensity than that of the radiation reaching the film. Take protective measures to safeguard against it.
An effective protective measure is the use of lead shielding. To minimize dangerous exposure, use such
items as lead screens, lead impregnated gloves, aprons, thyroid collars, etc. The lead screen should
contain a minimum of 2.0 mm of lead or equivalent and personal protective devices (aprons, gloves, etc.)
must contain a minimum of 0.25 mm of lead or equivalent. For confirmation of the local requirements at
your site, please refer to your “Local Radiation Protection Rules” as provided by your Radiation Protection
Advisor.

Safety and COPY
Regulatory
While operating or servicing x-ray equipment, always keep a distance not less
than 2 meters from the focal spot and X-ray beam, protect body and do not expose
hands, wrists, arms or other parts of the body to the primary beam.
Monitoring of Personnel
Monitoring of personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which they have been exposed provides
a valuable cross check to determine whether or not safety measures are adequate. It may reveal inadequate or improper radiation protection practices and potentially serious radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method of determining whether or not the existing protective measures are adequate
is the use of instruments to measure the exposure. These measurements should be taken at all locations
where the operator, or any portion of the body may be exposed. Exposure must never exceed the
accepted tolerable dose.
A frequently used, but less accurate, method of determining the amount of exposure is the placement of
film at strategic locations. After a specified period of time, develop the film to determine the amount of
radiation.
A common method of determining whether personnel have been exposed to excessive radiation is the
use of personal radiation dosimeters. These consist of X-ray sensitive film or thermoluminescent material
enclosed within a holder that may be worn on the body. Even though this device only measures the radiation which reaches the area of the body on which they are worn, they do provide a reasonable indication of the amount of radiation received.
Emergency Procedures
It is not always possible to determine when some components, such as the X-ray tubes, are nearing the
end of their operating lives. These components could stop operating during a patient examination.
WARNING
The facility must establish procedures for handling the patient in case of the loss
of radiographic imaging or other system functions during an exam.

Chapter 13: Digital Detector
This section outlines the basic detector functions, usage, care, and specifications.
Detector Overview
Detector primary functions are:
To convert x-ray data into digital image data
To transfer the digital data to the system for processing and display
The detector is an x-ray imaging device. It consists of an array of 2024 x 2024 pixels (40.4 x 40.4 cm).
Each pixel is attached to a data acquisition circuit that converts incoming x-ray signal to 14-bit digital
data.
The detector is constructed from a metal case. The front face contains a graphite x-ray imaging window.
The back face contains safety warnings.
Panel
The panel consists of a thin-film amorphous silicon integrated circuit on a glass substrate with a cesium
iodide scintillator. The scintillating material absorbs the x-rays and converts the energy to light. The light
is converted into a charge that is digitized by the detector electronics.
Electronics
The primary function of the readout electronics is to convert the charge into digital image data. This data
is then transmitted to the system through a wireless link or an ethernet connection.
Physical Appearance / Finish
The detector unit is designed to be installable as 1) an external patient access/contact surface and 2) a
non-external patient access/contact surface.
Detector surfaces have been treated with a finish to allow a smooth and easily cleanable surface. Care
shall be taken to protect the surface from scratches.
Nameplates and Markings
A label on the back of the detector contains the GE part number.

Detector Handling
The device contains sensitive electronics that are susceptible to vibration, shock, drop, and impact.
When handling the device, use the handle and/or use both hands to manipulate the detector into the
correct anatomical position for the exam.
WARNING
Do not swing the device into hard surfaces, especially corners, as this may scratch the
cover, create an image quality artifacts, or damage the electronics inside.
Special Instructions if the detector is dropped: Inspect the exterior for any possible cracks. Run
Detector Check to test the detector. It will be clear if the electronics are not functioning. Other possible
failures may include communication problems, image quality degradation, and loss of power. If any or all
of these occur, call your GE Service Representative.
Do not drop objects onto the detector.
Do not use the detector as a stretcher to lift a patient.
Do not drop the detector at any time.
Do not prop the device on an edge, against wall or bed. Keep detector in cradle, bucky, or other GEsupplied container.
Do not place other objects or patients on the detector if it is not on a flat surface, as shown in .
Do not use unapproved chemical cleaners.
Do not immerse detector into water or other liquids.
Do not use a defibrillator while patient remains in contact with detector.
Do not place objects on detector if it is not lying flat
Detector surfaces have been treated with a finish to provide a smooth and easily cleanable surface. Take
care to protect the surface from scratches.
WARNING
Extra precautions should be taken if the device will be exposed to excessive amounts
of bodily fluids or liquids.
The detector is designed to prevent some liquids or particulate matter from getting inside the cover. It
can sustain a temporary splash or spray, but it is not designed to be immersed in liquid (not even temporarily).

Detector Grid
The Digital Detector grid is integrated with a holder that fits the detector exactly. The grid fits over the
detector handle and has raised edges to fit around the detector. Once together, you may handle the grid
and detector as one unit.
The arrows on the grid surface show the direction of the grid lines, which run horizontally.
Figure 13-7 Detector Grid
Table 13-7 Detector Grid
Item
Description
Grid (6:1 grid ratio horizontal is standard, 8:1 grid ratio horizontal is optional)
Detector
The detector automatically detects when the grid is properly in place. If the grid has been improperly
placed on the back of the detector, the detector will not function. The detector reports to the system
when the grid is attached to or detached from the detector.
Grid Attachment
The bottom edge of the detector should be placed into the bottom lip of the grid holder while held in the
vertical position with the carbon graphite cover (on the front of the detector) facing the inside of the grid
holder. Then press the detector into the top edge of the grid holder. Be careful to not pinch your fingers or
clothing when assembling.
While in use, keep a firm grasp on both the grid holder and the detector. The markings for the active area
are clearly shown on the exterior surface of the grid holder.
Grid Handling
The grid is a sensitive device containing delicate mechanical structures. It is made of very thin pieces of
lead (Pb) and interspersed with Aluminum (Al).
Do not drop the grid.

Electro-magnetic Interference
The detector has been designed and tested to meet all IEC regulations in regard to electro-magnetic (EM)
susceptibility (and EMC).
However, there are no regulations for low frequency EM fields. All flat panel detectors have some susceptibility to these EM fields.
This detector is robust to EM fields up to 0.1mG over a broad low frequency range (DC - 250kHz).
It has been found that some common equipment in clinical environments can generate EM fields well
over 0.1mG. Some measurements have shown 4mG field strengths which can cause artifacts on x-ray
images.
EM fields are reduced by the square of the distance between the EM source and the detector. Thus, moving the EM source twice as far away will reduce the field strength by 4 times.
General suggestions:
Keep IV pumps, patient monitoring, feeding pumps 1 meter or more away from any detector surface.
Consider turning off equipment that cannot be moved.
Change the patient or detector orientation /position to maximize distance from any equipment.
Turn on the EMI Reduction feature. See the Preferences chapter for information on how to do this.
Possible sources of EM fields:
IV pumps

will not be allowed to login, even if they provide the correct username/password combination.
Either the specified time must elapse before the user can login again, or a user with ADMIN role
must login to the EA3 Administration component to unlock the user. Note that locking only applies
to local users (enterprise user locking is managed by the enterprise server)
x Minimum Password Length - The minimum length of a new password for a user. Note that if a password is below the minimum password length already, setting this value will have no effect on the
password. For example if your password is 8 characters, and someone changes the minimum password length to 10 characters, the 8 character password is still ok. However, next time the user
changes their password, they will have to choose a password that is 10 characters or greater. Note
that minimum password length only applies to local users (password length restrictions for enterprise users are managed by the enterprise server)

Change User Roles
Users roles cannot be directly changed from the Local Users panel. Roles are actually associated with
groups, and users belong to groups. In order to change the roles for a user, you must change the roles of
a group to which that user belongs.
Locking / Unlocking a User
Once a user is in context, you can see if the user is locked by looking at the status of the Locked checkbox
in the bottom panel. If this is checked, then the user cannot login even with a correct password.
1. To unlock the user, uncheck the checkbox, and press Apply Configuration button.
2. To lock a user, check the checkbox and press the Apply Configuration button.
Note: If Emergency User is enabled, you can still login through Emergency User while the system is lock.
Force a User to Change Password on Next Login
Often times if you are an administrator, you would like to force a user to change his or her password the
next time they login for security reasons. You can do this using EA3.
1. Select User
2. Check the Change Password on Next Login checkbox in the bottom panel.
x If this is checked, then the user will be asked to change their password on the next successful login.
Note: Once the user changes the password on the next login the check will be removed from this user.
Some fields may not be selectable if the following conditions occur.
For Users:
– Permanent - If a user is permanent, they can never be removed. When a permanent user is in context, the 'Remove User' button will be disabled.
– Content Not Editable - If a user is flagged as this, then their group memberships cannot be
changed. When a 'content not editable' user is in context, the 'Add To Groups', and Remove From
Groups' buttons are disabled.
– Password not changeable - If a user is flagged as this, then the password cannot be changed, and
the 'Change Password' button will be disabled.
For Groups:
– Permanent - If a group is permanent, it can never be removed. When a permanent group is in context, the 'Remove Group' button will be disabled.
– Content Not Editable - If a group is flagged as this, then its group members cannot be changed
(neither added nor deleted). When a user belongs to a Content Not Editable group, this user cannot be removed from the group (therefore, the group name will not show up when you press
'Remove From Group'). When a user does not belong to a Content Not Editable group, this user
cannot be added to the group (therefore, the group will not show up when you press 'Add To
Group').

1. Press [Add Local Group].
x When this button is pressed a popup panel is displayed.
2. Enter the new group's name (which must be unique).
x If any errors are encountered, you will receive an error message box. If you receive the error message box, changes were not saved to the database, and you can correct your errors and try again.
Possible errors that can be encountered when adding a group are:
– Group name already exists in the database
– Application session timeout

3. Press [Add Group].
Add a Enterprise Group
Adding an Enterprise group is quite similar to adding a local group.
1. Press [Add Enterprise Group].

x Adding an enterprise group doesn't actually add a group to the Enterprise directory server. What it
does is give EA3 the ability to manage roles for that group, which should already exist on the Enterprise directory server. So, for example, if you add a group 'All Employees' as an Enterprise group to

EA3, and assign that group with the STANDARD role, then any enterprise user that logs in through
EA3 and belongs to the 'All Employees' group will have the STANDARD role.
x You cannot manage the group memberships for Enterprise groups. This is managed by the directory server, not EA3. Therefore, whenever an Enterprise group is in context, both the 'Add Membership' and 'Remove Membership' buttons will be blocked out. This doesn't mean that no one belongs
to the Enterprise groups, just that this is managed by the directory server and not EA3.
x Once an enterprise group is added, it is automatically highlighted in the Enterprise Groups list box
on the left-hand site, and it is 'in context'. Once a group is in context, all information and buttons in
the center panel (i.e. Group Name, Remove Group Button, Roles checkboxes, Apply Roles button,
Group Members list box) refer to that group.

Manage a Group
You can select a group to be highlighted by pressing on the group's name in either the 'Local Groups' or
the 'Enterprise Groups' list box on the left side. Only one group can be highlighted at a time, and if you
attempt to choose multiple groups, EA3 will automatically select the top-most group that is selected.
Once a group is highlighted, you can make any necessary modifications to that group.
Note: When you first navigate to the Groups tab, EA3 will put the first listed local group highlighted
automatically. If there are no local groups, then EA3 will put the first listed enterprise group highlighted automatically. if there are no local groups or enterprise groups, then there will be no group
highlighted, and all of the buttons in the center panel will be disabled until a group is added.

Configure Enterprise Tab
The last tab on the EA3 Administration Component is the Enterprise tab. On this tab, you can configure
the properties necessary to make a connection to an Enterprise directory server (i.e. MSAD, Novell, etc.).
The Enterprise Tab is used by the site’s IT (Information Technology) or GE Service personnel. It provides
connectivity to the site’s user database. If you do not have a network established in your hospital or
clinic, this tab will not be used.
Things to consider:
x Utilize the enterprise capability whenever possible.
x Make sure the enterprise groups are granular enough to restrict protocol edit access.
x The inactivity timeout should be turned on.
1. Press [Enterprise].
Figure A-18 Enterprise Tab
The following configurations can be made on the top box of this tab:
Enable Enterprise Authentication - Whether or not Enterprise users should be able to log in. If this is
unchecked, only local EA3 users will be able to log in. If this is checked, both local users and enterprise EA3 users will be able to log in (although the local EA3 user database will always be tried first).
Cache Enterprise Users - Whether or not Enterprise users should be cached once they successfully
login. If this is checked, then a local record of an Enterprise user is kept. If at any time that user
attempts to login again, and for some reason the Enterprise directory server is not available (i.e. network problems), that user will be granted access if they provide the correct password. If this is
unchecked, then an Enterprise user will be denied access in the case that the Enterprise directory

server cannot be reached. Note that hashed passwords are cached, the actual password is not
cached.
Enterprise Authentication Latency (Seconds) - The amount of time (in seconds) that the EA3 login process should wait for a response from the Enterprise directory server. Often times, there is a network
latency when connecting to servers, and it will be different on different network configurations. If the
amount of time is reached without a response from the directory server, the EA3 login process will
return a failed login. A value of 5 seconds should be enough time to allow a properly configured directory server to respond, without being too much of an annoyance to the user if the directory server is
down (i.e. they will only have to wait at a maximum 5 seconds for the login attempt to return).
Applying configuration changes on the Enterprise tab top box are the same as mentioned before for
the Application tab. Use the Apply Configuration button to commit changes, and the Restore Configuration button to undo any changes that have not been saved yet. If there are any errors, you will get
a popup box describing the error.
Additionally, the actual connection to the Enterprise directory server can be made on this tab. You will
be modifying properties in the lower two boxes of the Enterprise tab
Auto Configuration
1. Press [Auto-detect Server Name].
This attempts to lookup the name of Server Name of the directory server.
In some environments, EA3 can try to auto-detect the Enterprise Directory Server. This will only work
in some environments (i.e. where DNS allows service lookups). This is just a convenience feature, and
will sometimes return with an alert that the auto-detect could not find the server. It is not an error if
that message is displayed, simply continue with these steps to configure the Server.
2. Enter the Server Name or IP address of the Enterprise directory server that EA3 should connect to, in
the Server Configuration box.
Note: The system must be able to resolve any IP address or server name. This means the system must
either have DNS enabled or the system must have static information in a hosts file (i.e. /etc/hosts).
3. Choose the Authentication type that the directory server supports.
x If it is a Microsoft Active Directory Server, most likely you need to choose Kerberos. If it is a Novell
eDirectory Server, most likely you need to choose LDAP If you do not know, check with the owner of
the directory server for information.
x If the enterprise server supports SSL connections, check the 'Use SSL' checkbox.
Note: If you use LDAP authentication without SSL, passwords will be sent in the clear. This is not recommended, and the client is alerted if they attempt to configure this way. With kerberos and nonSSL, the authentication is encrypted, but the LDAP traffic is not.
4. Press [Test Connection].
x This tests to see if the machine can connect to the directory server. If the connection is successful,
you will see a label with a 'CONNECTION OK' text next to the Test Connection button.
x If the connection is not successful, you will see a label with a 'CONNECTION BAD' text next to the
Test Connection button.
x If the connection is bad, then there is a problem connecting to the directory server.

5. Select the type of directory server (either Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, or orhter).
6. Press [Generate Defaults] button.
x This should populate the Realm Name, Format, DN, Login Attribute, First Name Attribute, Last
Name Attribute, and Group Attribute fields with default values for that directory server type.
x If the directory type is MSAD, both the realm name and the DN should be populated. If the directory
type is eDirectory, the realm name will be blank. If you are attempting to configure a directory
server that is not MSAD or Novell eDirectory, the configuration will have to be done manually. You'll
need to get the correct LDAP property information from the owner of the directory server.
x If this is a non-MSAD, non-eDirectory server, or is a server with a non-default configuration, it is possible that you may need to change some properties manually. See below for a definition of all of the
properties that you can configure.
7. Enter a username and password of a user that resides on the directory server.
8. Press [Login].
x You will see login result information in the Login Results section on the bottom of the tab.
x This will indicate if the login was successful or not.
x Additionally, it will print out the First Name, Last Name, and any group memberships for the user.
You may get a warning if First Name, Last Name, or Group Memberships were not found.
x Getting this warning means 1 of two things:
x The LDAP properties are mis-configured (i.e. First Name Attribute, Last Name Attribute, and/or
Group Attribute)
x The user doesn't have a First Name, Last Name, or any Group Memberships configured on the
Enterprise directory server.
x If you get these warnings, you may want to talk with the owner of the directory server to make sure
you have everything set up correctly.
x If the test login succeeded and you are satisfied with the first name, last name, and group membership information, then your Enterprise directory server is properly configured.
9. Press [Apply Configuration].
x This makes the configuration changes. Just like other tabs in the Administration component, pressing Restore Configuration will undo any changed made that have not yet been applied.
Manual Configuration
As mentioned before, if you are connecting to a directory server that is not MSAD or Novell eDirectory, or
the directory server you are connecting to has a custom configuration, you may need manually configure some of the properties. Here are definitions of all of the LDAP configuration properties and what they
do.
Format - This is either set to domain or dn. domain is the 'MSAD' way of doing LDAP authentication (i.e
@). dn is the other way of doing LDAP authentication, which eDirectory, and

Appendix A:REVIEW
Login Administration
most other directory servers use (i.e. loginAttribute=,). If you are connecting
to a non-MSAD directory server, it's pretty safe to say that you should use dn.
DN - This is the LDAP base DN of the LDAP server to which you are connecting. Usually this is the fully
qualified domain name separated by a bunch of 'DC='. For example, if the fully qualified domain
name of the directory server is 'example.com', it is likely that the DN will be 'DC=example,DC=com'.
Login Attribute - This is the LDAP attribute that should be used for the unique identifier of the user.
This is what they will use as their user id to login. On MSAD this is 'sAMAccountName, and on eDirectory, it is usually 'cn'. This should be set to whatever the directory server you are connecting to uses
as a unique identifier.
First Name Attribute - This is the LDAP attribute that should be used for the first name of the user.
Last Name Attribute - This is the LDAP attribute that should be used for the last name of the user.
Group Attribute - This is the LDAp attribute that should be used to find group memberships for the
user. On MSAD, this is 'memberOf'.
Note: EA3 finds all instances of this attribute (not just the first, like it does for other attributes). So if a
user belongs to more than one group, EA3 will find all memberships.
Note: Regarding LDAP parameter configurations, EA3 finds the first instance of the configured attribute
for a user, except for Group Membership. So, if you configure the First Name attribute to be an
attribute that is listed multiple times, EA3 will assume the first one found during an LDAP query is
the correct First Name. For Group Membership, EA3 will find all instances of that attribute.
Field Highlighting for changes
No changes are saved to EA3 on the Administration page unless you press an 'Apply Configuration' button on the normal tabs or a 'Confirmation' button on a popup panel.
For the 'Apply Configuration' buttons, when they are pressed, and successfully commit information to
EA3, you will see a brief (5-second) label appear indicating that the changes have been saved. The
same things happen when you Restore Configuration (e.g. after you made some changes and want
to revert back and you haven't pressed 'Restore Configuration' yet.
Note: If you make changes on one tab (e.g. Application tab), and do not press Apply Configuration, and
then you navigate to another tab, your changes will be lost. The next time you navigate to this
tab, since the changes were never applied, you will see the old configuration. So, after making
changes on a tab, but before navigating to a different tab, you must press Apply Configuration.
Also, there are sometimes more than one Apply Configuration button on a given tab, so make
sure you press the one associated with the data you changed (the buttons are grouped with the
data they manage in a bordered panel).
To help the you understand what fields you may have changed, any changed fields are highlighted with
green text / borders, and the Apply Configuration button that must be pressed in order to commit the
changes. Below in Figure 5-43 is demonstrating field highlighting. You can see that several fields have
changed, and you should press the Apply Configuration button.

Appendix C: Messages On Display
Two kinds of messages can appear on the message display on the control cover: status messages and
error messages.
Status messages simply inform you of the operating condition of the Definium AMX 700, and look
something like this.
Figure C-1 Ready message
Another type of message, called an error message, may appear should a problem occur with the
equipment. An error message looks something like this.
Figure C-2 Error message
Note that an error message includes an alphanumeric code, and will display one line at a time.
If an error message appears, follow these steps.
1. Try the function again. If the problem is corrected, and no error message is displayed, proceed as
usual.
2. If the error message still displays, turn the unit OFF then back ON.
Š Diagnostics or self-tests are quickly performed when the unit is turned back on.
Š When diagnostics are complete, the following message displays:
ERROR XXX
OCCURRED WHEN
THE UNIT WAS
LAST OPERATED –
PROCEED WITH
---CAUTION –
3. Now try the function once more. If the problem is corrected, and no error message is displayed,
proceed as usual.
4. If the problem persists, call your service representative, and report the code and message shown on
the display. This will prepare service for the type of problem encountered and the service required.
TableC-1 lists the status messages and provides a brief explanation of each one.

Status Messages
Description
AUTO CAL LIMIT
If this message displays, the unit is at its automatic calibration limit. A service
call is recommended to ensure accurate technique and radiographic results.
Exposures are not inhibited.
BATTERY TOO HIGH
VOLTAGE RECOVERY
IS REQUIRED
This message may appear when attempting to take a high technique
exposure immediately after removing the unit from charge. Exposure is
prevented. Operating the field lamp or driving theDefinium AMX 700 will
assist in stabilizing the battery voltage so that the exposure may be made.
BATTERY TOO LOW
This message may appear when attempting to expose when only a few
segments remain on the battery charge indicator. This means that the battery
does not contain sufficient charge to make an exposure.
CHARGE REQUIRED
Exposure is prevented. Recharging the batteries will eliminate the message
and allow exposures.
CHARGE COMPLETE
The charge process is complete, and the battery is fully recharged.
STANDBY
The unit is allowing usage for a maximum of 60 minutes (keyswitch is ON and
the unit is plugged in).
CHARGING
The unit is charging.
DRIVES ONLY
All modes are disabled except drive. Service is required.
HEAT WAIT
No exposures can be taken while this message appears (The length of the
delay will vary with the selected technique). This message displays while the
tube anode is cooling.
kVp MAX
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
increase the kVp above125.
kVp MIN
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
decrease the kVp below 50.
LIGHT DISABLED
FOR COOLING
If the field light is on for over 4 minutes, the light will be automatically turned
off to prevent the collimator from overheating. You may activate the field
light in about 5 minutes.
mAs MAX
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
increase the mAs above320 or above the acceptable energy limit for the xray tube anode. The acceptable heat limit is based on the kVp you selected.
Note that the kVp setting will always take precedence over the mAs setting.
That is, if the technique selected would generate too much x-ray tube heat,
the maximum mAs will automatically decrease to permit the selected kVp.
mAs MIN
Displayed on the alphanumeric display any time an attempt is made to
decrease the mAs below 0.40.

Description
READY FOR X-RAY
The prep cycle has successfully completed, and an exposure may be taken
within the next 30 seconds. (If an exposure is attempted after 30 seconds, the
prep cycle must be repeated.)
RECHARGE
IMMEDIATELY X-RAY
INHIBITED
The estimated usable battery capacity is near 0%. No more exposures may
be taken. Although charge is too low to complete an x-ray exam, you’ll have
enough energy to drive the unit to a correctly rated wall outlet for recharge.
RECHARGE
RECOMMENDED
The remaining battery capacity is approximately 10% or less.
RELEASE HANDLE
The Definium AMX 700 was moving faster than the drive motors allow.
Release the Drive Handle to clear the message, and then continue with
normal operation. This may happen if you push the Definium AMX 700 too
hard when driving down a ramp.
RELEASE PREP SW
The prep switch is still depressed (five seconds after an exposure or beyond
the 30-second timeout). If taking an exposure, repeat the prep cycle: 1)
release the prep switch, and 2) when the message WAIT is no longer
displayed, press to prep position again.
RESET AEC CNTROL
Reset the AEC controller. AEC is on, but not enabled. For Example: The (ON)
light is flashing on the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) unit. This indicates
the paddle is not connected. Reset the AEC controller. The red reset (GEN) on
the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) unit is lit. This indicates the back-up
time is too short. Reset the AEC controller.
REVERSE ONLY
Forward drive is prevented because the safety bumper is in contact with
another object. Reverse the unit before proceeding.
TESTING COMPLETE
Power-up diagnostic testing is finished.
WAIT
Wait before taking another exposure. (Displayed when the tube anode has
cooled, but before the battery has recovered from the previous exposure.)
Although radiographs can be taken, because of low battery voltage they may
not achieve the desired kVp technique accuracy.
WAIT/ACT-XX.X
After an AEC exposure the XX.X field will display the actual exposure mAs.
X-RAY DISABLED
This message appears if an attempt to make an exposure occurs while
HEATWAIT is displayed.
X-RAY TUBE PARKED
No exposures can be taken with the x-ray tube in the park/transport position.
DETECTOR PARKED
Detector is in the holder. Exposures are inhibited
DIGITAL MODE
System Software is ready for Digital Radiography procedures
FILM MODE ONLY
System can only be used for film procedures
